Things I have learnt in 26 years...

I don't claim to be some philosophical, over-achiever at life.. In fact, I'm probably quite the opposite. I currently have chipped nail polish and the highlight of my week is the delicious sandwich I am due to eat for dinner tonight. Okay, my life isn't quite that dull, it's pleasant.. normal.. or any other unremarkable adjective you wish to use. I guess I'm just a typical human being, whatever that may be? My point is, don't go expecting to find some ground-breaking, life-defining moments from what you are about to read. It's basically just a pile of stuff I have learnt from surviving the sum total of 26 years and 5 months on this planet.

1. Chocolate solves all problems, no matter how big or small.

2. Leggings are not to be trusted. They mislead you with their false sense of opaqueness and then take great pleasure in exposing you to whoever chances a glance.

3. A little bit of time puts everything, and I mean everything into perspective. Mountains crumble over time, and so do your problems.

4. Sometimes you will eat a whole pack of biscuits, purely because you can.

5. You never really appreciate how much your parents do for you until you have to fend for yourself in the big, wide world, pay your own way and do laundry.

6. If you have a scab,you'll pick it until it bleeds.

7. You never remember how truly horrific a hangover can be until you're hungover. Then you recover and miraculously forget until you're hanging out of your ass again!

8. Self control and ready salted Pringles can never be used in the same sentence.

So many of these apply to me! I have a strange habit of crying in shop changing rooms when nothing fits me, its so sad. I mistakenly underestimated just how sheer my leggings were when I went running the other day and it was only when I got a few funny looks that I realised that my frog printed knickers were on show (cringe)
